SmartDistancing App

Make physical distancing smarter and easier. By using existing Bluetooth technology from your phone, the app detects if too many people are around you (<2m/6ft) for too long (>1mn) and sends you a notification. It also connects to a badge you can wear, which will signal people around you whether they are at a safe distance.

Submission for the Hack:Now Covid19 hackathon.

Status

Right now, the app contains a mock-up of the final functions:

• Status: see how many people are around you, based on bluetooth
• Badge: if you're connected with a SmartDistancing badge, check the real-time status of it, which should mirror the one on the Status screen. If not, you will be able to order one through the app.

Next steps

• Test with real hardware for the Badge
• Add possibility to order the Badge from the app

Run the app on a smartphone

Android (debug)

1. Check that your device is connected and recognized by ADB: adb devices should show your device ID (you can check it in your device settings)
2. By default, the app will be built in debug mode, simply launch react-native run-android
